Genius DX-ECO Bluetooth mouse uses a capacitor that recharges in minutes

Shane McGlaun, Jan 18th 2012 Discuss [2]

It’s almost like the fact that this sack has a rechargeable battery in the bottom of it is a bonus feature, that’s how much I’ve enjoyed using it to tote my devices through Las Vegas. The 6,000 mAh battery certainly does add frosting to the cake, also, when it comes down to it.
